Washington Letter: A few days ago
CIvil-Service Commissioner Edgerton
put a young lady candidate through an
examination that she did not bargain
for. The young lady came into his
office with face as red as afull-blown
rose. But on II close examination,
the Civil.Service Commissioners, who,
although old in years, is young in sight
and heart, discovered that this rosy
hue was secured by paint and powder.
Mr.. Edgerton hates any thing unnat-
uralor artificial, and he looked at the
young lady for while, and asked her
il she ever expected to have hus-
band. The young lady was rather
startled at the question, but replied
Certainly" "Then," replied Mr..
Edgerton, "If I was n young man and
calling to see you, | would prefer to
see your face. DO you suppose man
Is going to fight his way through the
powder and paste on your face? No,
miss, the young man wants the true
article, not n mouthful of paint and
powder. You have good complex
ion, good color and good skin, why do
you plaster yourself up with this
stuff? Use soap and water, and you
will find the young men will like you
better. When Twas young the girls were
natural, and did not daub their faces
all over with this stuff" Mr.. Edger-
ton could well say the above, because
his years allowed him to speak, and
after few minutes OF thought the
young girl thanked the Civil-hervice
Commissioner for his advice, and said
hereafter she would use only soap and
water. She kept her word, for she
,alled on him day or so later, and
ooked as fresh as daisy, without
The trace OF paint or powder. The
Commissioner thinks OF adding this
eature to the next examination for
emale clerks.

that Treasurer Il. NJ. Joseph, of the

the rumors Of deficit were without

that there has been some trouble in

In early New Eng land days, as far
back as the middle of the eighteenth CEN
fury, when hospitality was practice as
we'll as a virtue, there was in most
houses only one large assembly room,
and there the family and all the guests
and chance callers gathered on winter
nights about the blazing fire Of logs.
We know that youth was youth and
love was love, and young men were
timid and maidens were shy, and court
ship went on in those days. How was
courtship possible in this common room,
where every word was heard and every
look taken notice of? We read in the
admirable volume on the recent CEN
tennial of Long Meadow, Mass, by
Prof. Richard S. STAIRS of that town,
in the winter evenings for the conven-
fence of young lovers, since there was
no next room" counting sticks were
used; that is, long wooden tubes that
could convey from lip to ear sweet and
secret whispers. Was this an invention
peculiar to Long Meadow?
1t is charming picture that this
calls up, of life in puritan household,
this tubular loyo-making, tho pref
ty girl (nearly every girl is pref.
ty in the freight of long ago.
seated in one stiff high backed
chair, and the staid but blushing
lover in another, handling the court
ing stick, itself an open cnnfession Of
complacence, if not of true love. Would
the young man dare to say, 81 love
you," through tube, and would he
feel encouraged by the laughing, tender
eyes of the girl when she replied
through the same passage, do tell! ]"
Did they have two sticks, so that the
end of one could be at the ear and the
end of the other Mt the mouth all the
while? How convenient. when the
young man got more ardent than was
seemly, as the flip went round, for the
girl to put her thumb over the end OF
the tube, and stop the flow of soul Did
the young man bring his stick, and Sc
announce his intention, or did the young
lady always keep one or pair on hand,
and so reveal both willingness and ex-
pectation? 1t was much more con-
venient than the telephone, with its
"hello" and proclamation to all listen
ers at each end of the line. Lovers can
make love with anything, even with a
telephone, the successful counting of a
deaf person Qor there is one word that
nearly every one likes to hear, as we
know, can go on through speaking
trumpet; but these counting sticks seem
to us the ne plus ultra of tender com
munication-when third party is pres
ent. They would be very useful now
at large parties, where there is such a
din and babble that one can only court
pretty girl at the risk of bronchitis or
laryngitis. Sometimes in the jam you
cannot get near the girl; but with n long
counting stick you could vile her away
from her too ardent admirer This in
vention seems to us worthy of revival for
many reasons, and we should be glad OF
any further information in regard to it.
Civilization in its progress drops n good
many things that ought to be retained.
